Purim in Israel! Am Yisrael is Chai!
We enjoyed a falafel bar, took pictures at the Western Wall, enjoyed sand art by the Negev, had a "Tel Aviv" street entertainment and so much more!

This year our Purim theme was an obvious choice, although we are in the U.S. our hearts are in Israel.

Raspberry, Chocolate, Apricot oh my! Which flavor is your favorite?

We are excited to bring back our Hamentash Sale! Order by March 15th and have delicious Hamentshen for Purim.

After 5 years of operating out of our home we knew we had to make room for all the growth. Is there a better way to celebrate than with our Lake Norman community?

Words are not enough to recap the amazing Kid's Challah Bake with PJ Library of Lake Norman. We got messy with flour, made our challah, decorated challah covers and shaped our loaves. What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon together!

We can't wait for the challah bake next year!

Growth.

A simple, yet powerful word that holds so much meaning and hope for people everywhere.

It can take place in all different shapes and sizes. We are always lauding and encouraging it, even in incremental, gradual amounts.

Just take a look at the growth from our first Menorah lighting in December 2018 to this year at Birkdale Village 2023.

Join our annual Campaign where we will be raising $22,500, in the next 3 weeks! Every dollar you donate will be matched by a group of generous donors, bringing the total funds raised for the community to $45,000!

Every dollar you donate will be DOUBLED!
$100 grows in $200
$250 grows into $500
$500 grows into $1000
$1,800 grows into $3,600

Can we count on you?

Light. Unity. Jewish Pride.
Three (or four) words to describe the first night of Chanukah . So many came together to light the menorah on the first night of Chanukah, celebrating the miracle of light.

A huge thank you to Birkdale Village and Maureen Smith for making the lighting at Birkdale a reality. Thank you to Huntersville Police Department for keeping our event and community safe.

Last but not least thank you to Chabad volunteers, Tommie Ann Green, Bob and Teddy Rubin for all your help prepping and setting up.

Happy Chanukah!

I'm sure you don't think of Chanukah when hearing the words Home Depot, or maybe now you do after attending our annual Chanukah Workshop at the Home Depot in Cornelius.

We got ready for Chanukah by making our own dreidel sets. The smiles and concentration say it all. What a wonderful time we had and can't wait for the Menorah Lighting at (Extra security measures in place).

Thank you Pat for making this possible.

This year more than ever we need the light of Chanukah to shine brightly.

As we think of the tragedy on Simchat Torah, praying for the hostages to be rescued, and for the IDF's success, let's gather and do mitzvot to let our light outshine the darkness. We will celebrate. the miracle that happened then, and pray for miracles today.

We have so much planned for this Chanukah link in bio to RSVP

Sunday December 3rd- Chanukah Workshop @ The Home Depot

It's been a month since Sukkot has ended. I have not been able to bring myself to post the joy of Sukkot on our social media, as the holiday ended in devastation. However now that a month has passed, we need to show those who come against us, that we stand prouder and stonger. So here you have a recap from a wonderful Sukkot holiday with our Sukkah truck and Chabad Sukkah. A playdate, at Davidson College, Sukkot gathering, and of course countless Sukkot meals. Am Yisrael Chai!
